This comment of mine has over time evoked a number of
responses: "Note the laptop computer. What's on the screen, the set play list,
song lyrics, a naked woman, who knows?"

The general consensus
seems to be similar to this May 2005 e-mail I received: "I
sat about 10 feet from him at 2 concerts in Omaha and I can verify that the
laptop has the lyrics to each song that he plays."

Maybe
Leon will fool us all someday and opt for the naked woman, who knows?

Leon in his younger days. His dark eyes, and
flowing hair always gave an air of mystery to the performer.

Leon's John Hancock, obtained at his `99 Virginia
performance.

The following pictures were taken at Jaxx in
Springfield, Virginia around April 1999. I have also seen Leon
before at Liberty Lunch, and Antone's, both in Austin, Texas. I
think Leon can best be described as having a presence, an aura.
During his performances he does not dance around the stage, in fact he
rarely leaves his high tech keyboard (complete with laptop computer), but
the delivery by his unique voice, the lyrics, the look all add up to one
heck of a delightful experience!

Dig the flowing silver hair. Still the rebel.

Leon at the end of his performance acknowledging the
audience.

Banging on the keys and belting out a tune!

I've never seen a keyboard with more wires and doodads,
but it has never gone on the fritz any of the 3 times I have seen him.
Note the laptop computer. What's on the screen, the set play list,
song lyrics, a naked woman, who knows?
